mix-up

mix-upn.— «While both he and Dr Blythe are believed to harbour ambitions of political leadership, Dr Davies’ are perhaps more credible. He is not perceived to be involved, in Jamaican parlance, in “mix-up.” Indeed, recently, during violence in his constituency over community “leadership transition”, Dr Davies spoke of the perpetrators of the violence as illiterate boys with guns&dash;not the kind of characterisation likely to endear him with the groups that traditionally bring in the votes.» —“Let’s hear from Dr Davies” Jamaica Observer (Kingston, Jamaica) May 24, 2004.
